Weed and anxiety: Street weed you never know what you might get plus it's illegal. Now if you are taking medicinal marijuana(in a state where it is legal) some strains are great for anxiety. MJ can also worsen and unveil underlying mental/psych issues. Follow up and discuss this with your therapist or psychiatrist is recommended.

Mixed outcomes: The short-term marijuana’s effects may be relaxing and helpful for anxiety. However, long-term use of the drug is anxiety inducer and can lead to memory loss and cognitive impairment.
